what did you do UT, spike the feeder with tart and sour nectar?

I love the contorted poses, surely gives another look at what has become a pretty common subject lately................in a good way that is

Good stuff, #3 for the win!

Fabulous set, Ted. Love the poses and of course, the display of colors (not to mention their "mean" little faces).

I shot a lot of HBs a few years ago (before our bee balm took a hit). Despite staying out for hours, admittedly with only one or two HBs coming by every 10-15 minutes, but very seldom did I capture any of these stretches. Do they give any clues they're going into that mode or did you do a lot (more) waiting or have a lot of birds?

Gorgeous gorget set in any event!

Thanks for posting.

--Kim

The hummers like all birds like to perch in a favorite area, on a favorite perch. The stretching poses are frequently done in this area and usually after they have finished a round of feeding. Usually their favorite spot is close to where they feed.

When they perch, they will stretch.

Thanks for your reply Kim.

on the first one the background can be post processed more.
Very impressive shoots.

I dont disagree the bg is not quite right. I think I over processed the bg on the first. Thanks for your comments.
